4x2 Southern Thread. Let’s see them.

Did you get an OEM or aftermarket Pro grille? Ive been interested in getting one but I didn't know if I should go for an aftermarket or OEM since I've got that sensor in front that has to have that special glass piece

 

If you're really interested I'd go to the dealer and talk to them I'm sure they wouldn't deny you to get one. They would try to talk you into a 4x4 though

 

Here’s mine before I removed the air dam up front. 4x2 is just fine. I haven’t heard any of the ‘it’s not a real truck’ crap. Most of the folks I run into dig the truck. Would I like 4x4? Sure! But I didn’t want to pay another $4k for something I’d rarely use. I tow with it, take some dirt roads here and there, and haul stuff in the bed. Exactly what a truck was meant for.....

 

I have the oem one. I ordered mine before the aftermarket ones were going around. I’ve heard many people with the tss say the aftermarket works just fine and saving $300 on the aftermarket is a plus.

 

Florida here. I just don’t need 4x4 for what I do with it. Lots of Home Depot runs and Cub Scout camping trips. None of which takes me on more than a dirt road.

 

I know it saves money but im curious about warranty on that. I know if it was OEM parts my dealer probably wouldn't get upset about it, but with a after market I just wonder if it would void my warranty

 

I don’t see how they could void warranty for that. More than likely they wouldn’t be able to tell if it’s aftermarket or oem.

 

I've always been supportive of government support of farmers, but after that post I might need to start looking a little more closely at this shit.

 

I receive 0 US government subsidies for my date farm, in CA.

My employees (pickers and packers) are all illegal. They provide fake social and fake green cards, but they do a terrific job working at super low wages, so I can afford fancy things and my customers can receive lower priced products that are high quality.

My demographic who I sell to are 1)Local - Trader joe white rich millennials 2) Export product -Terrorists in middle east

 

Sure, sure, and I'm sure government plays no roll in market price. Quick google search tells enough. Thanks for peaking my interest in this topic. I love opening my eyes

 

You can google all you want. Come on down in person, and I will be happy to show you. Less than 10% of CA farmers receive subsidies. I am not, and have never been on CA farm subsidies list https://farm.ewg.org/top_recips.php?fips=06000&progcode=totalfarm&regionname=California


I am just across from famous Joshua Tree park. Of course a government plays a roll in market pricing, but I am not getting subsidies like the Iowa corn growers, which was your initial presumption.

I own all my land outright. I have no bank loans for any equipment. I don't use county water. I have $45,000 ground water well per 10 acre of parcels. I do use county power, which I pay commercial rates for. I save money, I buy parcel. I save money, I put in new wells. That way, I am never overextended, as this isn't my primary income. I have a day job (ex Toyota Counsel, currently counsel for a movie studio).

I sell wholesale. It is a simple business at my current scale. I pay as little taxes as possible and write off as much as possible.

 

You seriously don't see the problem here do you?

 

I'm typically not a fan of the chrome bumper caps but I must say they look REALLY good on calvary blue.

 

I agree man. They don’t look as out of place as they do on most colors

 

My ‘18 SR5 2wd. I’m Happy with it. Waiting to get some 265/75/16 tires for it. And I will be putting white letters out!!

 

Which soft fold tonneau cover is that on your truck?

 

Gator SFX tri fold from RealTruck
